ANOMALY: The Station (Alpha Prototype)

⚠️ DEV NOTE: This is an early gameplay prototype. To focus on deep mechanics and atmosphere with $0 budget, the game uses a minimalist "LIDAR Scanner" visual style. You are not looking at the world with eyes — you are seeing it through your helmet's tactical interface.

THE LORE

You are exploring The Entity — a living, 4-dimensional organism that feeds on realities. It mimics corridors, labs, and warehouses, but the geometry is unstable. 

The Station is dark. Your only guide is your Scanner Interface and your flashlight.

KEY FEATURES

GREED KILLS (Risk vs Reward): The Station senses the value of your inventory. If you carry too much loot, the Threat Level rises. Weak enemies are replaced by "Auditors" — elite cleaners sent to erase you. Will you drop the loot to survive, or try to run?

PHYSICS & TACTICS: Bullets ricochet off walls. Doors can be kicked down. Debris reacts to impacts. Use the environment to survive.

DYNAMIC ATMOSPHERE: Real-time lighting and a soundscape that breathes.

HARDCORE CO-OP: Bring a friend. If they fall, you must decide: drag their body to the extraction point to save their data, or leave them behind to save yourself.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT

I am a solo developer working on this project with zero funding. 

Story & Design: Created by me, based on my original sci-fi novella.

Code: Assisted by AI to handle complex networking (so I can focus on gameplay).

Graphics: Procedural & Schematic (Focus on performance and clarity).

WHY DONATE?

This game is free to play, but development costs money.

Your donations go directly towards:

1. The Steam Direct Fee ($100) — to eventually bring this game to Steam.

2. Project Costs — paying better assets (sounds, tools) to improve the game quality.

Thank you for testing the prototype. Leave a comment — I read everything!
